Windows 10: Time attributed to challenge

Today I got mad with what happened in my game 17 of Solitaire event!


I pressed the button to start the challenge (the round one in the challenge selection), then an ad came in and in the middle, I realized I had to go out, so I didn't press the actual start button. I closed the Solitaire and the computer. This morning I turned the computer on, went back to the event and actually started challenge 17... when I finished, I got shocked that my time was 11 hours, 11 minutes and some seconds... wow!


I already realized that if I leave a challenge in the middle and close solitaire, the time will still be counting, what I didn't realized is that even before you actually click the final start button, the game is already counting your time. I mean I never suspected this as for instance in Freecell you can take your time to study the deck without the time starting. I really don't understand what happened.


Can anyone explain to me what just happened?

Change file attribute to 'unhide'

Hello Walt,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

I suggest you to follow the below steps to change the attribute of any file/folder to unhide.

Step A: Show Hidden files

1. Open Windows Explorer(win logo key+E) or My computer.

2. Now click on View on top of the window.
3. Untick ‘Hidden items’ in the options.

Step B: Change file attribute

1. Once the hidden file is located, right click on the file/folder you want to change the attribute for.

2. Go to ‘properties’, untick the box facing hidden.

3. Now, Click on ‘apply’ and then ‘ok’.

Hope it helps.

Thank You.

 

The extended attributes are inconsistent.

Windows keeps on telling me to scan drive for error and drive c has been repaired for several time upon windows requirement.

There's only that one message, the extendent attribute not consistent.

System file checker, recovery system, changing sound setting to no sound, resetting my administrator.

 

Challenge phase requested on every start up

Hi, someone tried to access my computer a couple of weeks ago now and I am now getting asked to complete a challenge phase every time I start up before I can enter my pin.

The fix was listed as ...

1. Press Windows key + R to launch the Run command.
2. Type netplwiz and press Enter.
3. On the User Accounts window, select your username and uncheck Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.
4. Click Apply.
5. Type your Password twice and click OK.
6. Restart your PC and redo the steps in reverse to enable the sign in with password again.
7. Restart your PC again and see if the challenge phrase would still occur.

However maybe as I am administrator I am not being offered the option to uncheck users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
